Sally is clever getting his scent on her hand through the handshake with that evil double sided man. Horrific to think of animal and human sacrifices. These evildoers deserve everything they get. Well written chapter. The tension remains.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
Sally Law, the Lady Detective, certainly has replaced her sense of sight with a good nose. No one could smell that rabbit stew except her. I would think Fee's father-in-law might take the law into his own hands, but getting the money back for is grandson is more important.

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Oh no, you smell stew! You can't have stew!
Nice greeting to the old man and I love your French!
Ewe,that is horrible that there was
Witchcraft practiced there!
And that old man is freaky?
Was that Patience who said, we will get every last one??
And I don't blame tommy for feeling kinda sick Phoebe being anywhere near these freaks!
And lucky you knew the procedure used by the cult of putting them down.
Wow! What an awesome visit from Greyson Cole to the jail to see that slime-ball, fee. I love what he s'aid about the death penalty . This was such an awesome chapter. Best yet!!! I am starting to sound like Glen as he yells at criminals on tv. I shouldn't be so against that I wish death for them, but it's your fault, lol, for writing them so real.
He's happy and free of you is awesome place to leave us hanging again! Lol. And I am just happy every week that it is not over. So happy for another week!
Caught me off guard with the witchcraft, yet I should have known!

Comment from Carol Clark2
I love the way Madame Detective uses her other senses. She's amazing. So clever to have her shake Mr. Paulette's hand to get his scent. He seems like evil personified. Good dialogue between Fee and Greyson Cole. Blessings.

You're welcome, my friend. Have a wonderful weekend.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Second paragraph: The sun was high in the sky, and THE temperature had reached about 39 degrees.
I'm getting the feeling from Madame Detective that the blind can do just about anything a seeing person can do.
Paragraph that begins "Immensely! I was unhappy that Maryland is A no longer a death penalty state." Remove "a" after Maryland is . . .
Great chapter, Sal. Nicely paced, great dialogue (as always), and I enjoyed the tension between Greyson and Fitzgerald.
I'm enjoying the read, my friend:-)

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
There's a lot going on here and I might have got a bit behind. But your notes are always very welcome to catch up. Gosh, that was creepy, venturing into the forest and meeting up with that horrible man, Paulette's grandfather but Sally is more than up to the task and the scent on her hand from shaking his hand will be a useful aid for the dogs. The stone altar now is clear evidence that something sinister has been going on and Paulette's grandfather needs to be pulled in. Greyson confronts Fee with his intention to take out a civil lawsuit against him to retrieve all the money stolen. Small edit: para starting Greyson Cole was expressionless.....(accepted); also some of the character notes might need to be updated e.g. Paulette. But this story is excellent, moving along with pace with some lovely descriptive detail (Paulette's grandfather) and Sally's sensory perception. Thanks for sharing, Sally. Debbie

Comment from Sankey
So, so glad I still had a SIX for this absolutely enthralling, detailed chapter. You have done well. I like Simon's grandfather. So glad we have met him.
Is there any connection between Fee and the Warlock? One suggestion...Should the following be changed, as indicated??...Samson came [blowing] (bowling) OR (flying) past.

Comment from Jay Squires
What a meaty chapter this is, Sally! A lot of intriguing plot development. I did run across a few things that raised questions:
I smelled nothing more than the pines trees. [... the PINE trees ... or simply, the pines.]
I said, tears stinging my face. [I'm sorry, Sally, but why would tears sting one's face?]
"Am I wrong, Mr. Paulette?" Sally implored. [Sally, consider using a word other than "implored". She would have no reason to beg him.]
Finally, I smelled the rabbit stew. [Oh, yeah! I liked this verification of Sally's powers!]
"Grew apart...?" Greyson baulked. [Are you intending to use the European spelling of the American, "Balk"?]
I'm anxious to read the next chapter.

Comment from patcelaw
Sally, this is another interesting chapter in your book. I enjoyed listening to it and it flows well when it is read aloud. I am in rehab. I fell on July 2 and broke two bones, one in my hip and my broke my pelvis. I will be in rehab for 23 weeks. Whatever it takes for me to get well and be able to take care of myself at home I probably will not do much posting or reviewing in the next few days. But I wanted to let you know that I am OK but it's just gonna take some time for my healing. God bless and have a good day. Patricia

Oh my! Prayers for you now, dear Patricia. I?m so sorry about your accident and I have you on my prayer list for the remainder of your recovery. 23 weeks is a long time. I can?t believe you had the time in the stamina to review this. I appreciate it so much. As a way to bless you and keep you and heal you my friend. Thank you again. Sal XOs

Uhh, that was quite an ending. As usual, you've written a wonderful chapter. I so enjoyed reading it. I'm making this short as I don't know how much longer I will have a phone connection. Very well written as always.,Sally xxx
